Replies Shaknbake Posted at 9:21 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Sounds mostly General American. You cut most of your syllables too short (so it sounds choppy), and your stress is wrong throughout. As an example of some stress/pronunciation mistakes (ignore the spelling, it's just to show pronunciation, and the ^ shows the stressed syllable): Sov-rin-ty, not soverêignty. Pôtentate, not potêntate. "ând that," not "and thât." Rezervation, not resservation. "where-uv," not "whereoff." Just a year or two ago I watched my Aunt swearing that oath for her citizenship. polgas733 Posted at 7:23 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 lol somesay i kinda sound spanish.. lol silverbullets Posted at 7:22 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 Quote: from misscharity at 10:19 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 You dont even sound like an american. this. panicxparadox Posted at 7:22 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 The south Florida area, I sense Latino. polish princess Posted at 7:22 pm on Sep. 26, 2008 You don't have an American accident, you sound middle eastern to me.
